They all consistently rank in the bottom 3 but occasionally change places. Louisiana has been holding down last for a few years.

My wife is from Alabama so I spend a lot of time in that state. It's got some good and bad like most places.

It's a better run state than Louisiana but that ain't saying much.

Well the Supreme Court ruled interracial marriage bans unconstitutional back in the 60s.

Maybe Alabama didn't officially remove the ban from their state law until 2000, even though you could still have it done in the state anyways?


That's what I figured.

Crazy 40% voted to keep a defunct law out of spite and hatred.

That is fricking insanity.

This is correct. Our constitution is an abomination with tons of racist language in it.

The last state to legalize interracial marriage (in the year 2000! 40% voted to keep it illegal!)

They don't show gay cartoons, so they've got that going for them.

Alabamans don't care about any of that.

The 48 football national championships are all that matter.

Some truth there, but we by no means have that market cornered.

Yeah there's no damn way Alabama is more corrupt than we are. We give Chicago a run for its money.

Mississippi ratified the 13th Amendment to to ban slavery in 1995, but failed to process the paperwork until 2013.

At one point a couple of years ago, our governor had just resigned because he was facing impeachment, our Speaker of the House had been removed for being convicted on ethics charges(on ethics laws he helped pass), and our Supreme Court Chief Justice(Roy Moore) had been removed from office for violating a court order.

And all that just scratches the surface. Not saying we're more corrupt, but we're definitely in the running.

We've had like 4 straight insurance commissioners go to prison

This is the state that had to decide between Edwin Edwards and David Duke for governor when I was younger
